What To Do With Your New Network Marketing Business
Maybe it was a home party, hotel meeting or an online presentation, but you were convinced and now you’ve got yourself a new network marketing business. So the question becomes: Where do you go from here? Today I want to give you a few practical steps that will help you get moving in the right direction, whether you are using online or offline strategies.
Getting A Great Start To Your New Network Marketing Business
First of all you need to make a commitment. Go stand in front of your mirror, hold your right hand up and say these words: “I do solemnly swear to persevere in my new business. I will not give up under any circumstances. I believe with all of my heart, that my business is the right vehicle to carry me to my dreams. I commit to learn my craft. I will learn from those who are successful and I will implement all that I learn. When I master one aspect of my business I promise to always teach it to someone else.” Now that you have done that, put those words in writing, sign and date. Put this document in a prominent place like your computer or bathroom mirror. It will serve as a reminder of the commitment you just made to yourself.
Now it is time to determine what you want to accomplish in your business. Articulate clearly how much by when. For example you may say that I want to be earning $10,000 per month in one year or that you want 2,000 people in your downline in the next 3 years. The purpose of articulating quantity and time is for measurement of your success in obtaining those goals and the determination of your business strategies. For example a person who wants to add 600 people to their downline each year, would probably not be best served by doing home parties, but instead using some form of internet marketing.
This brings us to strategy. What method or methods of marketing do you intend to utilize. Again, you need to set measurable goals for yourself in these areas. For example if you are working offline, you might commit to hosting a home part 2 nights per week. If you were working online, your goal might be the writing and submission of 1 article per day for 100 days. The key is that you be able to measure your activities, so you can evaluate for effectiveness and also make corrections or adjustments as needed. No matter what strategy you choose to deploy, the importance of that strategy is the generation of leads for your business. If a strategy is not generating leads for you, it needs to be dropped and something else needs to be utilized.
The final piece is relationship building with those leads. Take time to create value for those prospects. Give them information that is useful for their lives, so that you become a valuable resource to them. Training and information are two of the greatest tools you have for creating value in the eyes of your prospects. As you provide these items to your prospects, you now have a natural place to introduce your business or product to that person as well. The more interaction you have had with the individual, the easier this will become.
